The beloved Provincetown tradition is back for its ninth year! Starting the day after Thanksgiving and running until New Years, the Canteen transforms into a magical, cozy place to gather, enjoy holiday foods and drinks, and buy handcrafted goods from local artisans. This year, we will be offering several different experiences for you to enjoy — all in one trip or over several outings to our little “village.”

BACKYARD BAR & specialty FOOD court

The Canteen’s beach bar transforms for the holidays, complete with twinkling lights, snug blankets, fire pits & steaming mugs of holiday drinks to warm your bones. Embrace the European way! order a hot toddy, a hot mulled wine or a hot chocolate with whipped cream, and some holiday street food, find a cozy nook to sit and enjoy the season with a blanket and friends!

Local Vendors

Each day of the market features 25 local vendors, ranging from local woodworkers & jewelers to painters, leatherworkers, & clothes makers. This is not your grandma’s craft fair, you have to see the talent out there!

The shack

The Shack is The Canteen’s latest pop-up Holiday restaurant featuring fresh, tasty food to share, bargain wines, seasonal cocktails, in a convivial fishing shack transformed for the holidays — what more could you want?!
